Rakai says he officially graduated from high school, but there was one major catch! The popular content creator claims school officials wouldn’t let him walk across the stage during the graduation ceremony because they feared his presence could cause a disruption. While Rakai says he’s still receiving his diploma, social media quickly weighed in on whether the school made the right call.
On Saturday, June 20, Rakai took to X to share the news with his supporters. He wrote, “The school isn’t going to let me walk today. They believe it would create a disturbance and interrupt the graduation ceremony, so they’ve decided not to allow it.” Despite missing the milestone moment, Rakai confirmed he still graduated. “I still graduated, and we will open my diploma on stream when I receive it,” he added.
The situation quickly sparked reactions in The Shade Room Teens comment section, with many users weighing in on whether the school made the right decision.

Meanwhile, content creator RayAsianBoy had a few questions after learning that Rakai had graduated. In a clip circulating online, Ray congratulated Rakai on earning his diploma before questioning how he was able to complete high school. Ray claimed Rakai didn’t regularly attend school over the past two years and had never seen him complete any online homework assignments. Ray later turned his comments toward the U.S. education system, questioning how students meet graduation requirements. “That’s the reason everyone so dumb over here,” Ray said before adding that if Rakai could graduate, then “anybody can graduate.”
